I dont have one, but from what i understand, it just tricks your computer into thinking you have the pedal down faster, moving all the applicable table values in quicker. THis is by no means a highly technical or accurate answer, i hear they are a crock.

The funny part is that once you have some additional power you will want to slow down the application of throttle opening. Otherwise it just gets too difficult to drive the car smoothly (and your passengers will hate you).

BTW, I'm working on a project that is a bolt on cam for TBI. It's all designed and ready for production. We'll be making a few different versions so as to fine tune the throttle blade open rate vs pedal position.
The only other solution for good linear air flow vs pedal position is to use a barrel throttle or gate throttle, neither of which are easy to build. Hmm.... I wonder how hard it would be to design a barrel throttle, only problem is it wouldn't work very well with the spray pattern of TBI. Darn.
